The first meeting of the Perth Sustainability Roundtable was held at Jackson McDonald on 11 July 2013 with nearly 20 people in attendance for lunch.

The group were keen to establish a regular forum for the discussion and sharing of sustainability ideas, experience and challenges.

There was enthusiastic discussion of

- how to communicate new initiatives, particularly changes to waste and recycling facilities and moving to default double-sided printing,

- how to deal with staff who are not keen to change their habits, and

- the Plastic Free July initiative emanating from Perth and how law firms can minimise their use of plastic (particularly with catering).

The next meeting is to be held at Lavan Legal in October 2013.
